Tim Olmstead Memorial Digital Research CP/M Library

Here, in one place, are all the manuals we have for Digital Research
software products. These manuals have been produced by scanning, and ocr'ing,
the originals. Where possible, the look and feel of the original has been
preserved as much as possible. The manuals presented here have been through an
extensive clean-up process. OCR is not an exact art, at least not in the
affordable software available for the PC, so a separate cleanup process is
necessary to produce a pretty manual.

At the bottom of this page you will see a link to some
manuals that have been scanned, and ocr'd, but not cleaned up. You can also
participate in getting these manuals cleaned up.

NOTE : There is now a site to distribute the DTP sources for some of the manuals on this
site. Here is the link to it :
http://www.cpm.z80.de/manuals/archive/index.htm.They are mostly in Lotus AmiPro and Microsoft Word format.
I'm in the process of converting them all to PDF format. The results will be posted
here.

Still, there are a couple of manuals on this site available in Postscript format only.
If you've got the possibility (and time...) to convert them to PDF,
please let me know. Searchable (i.e. plain text) PDFs are preferred because of file size
and online readability.

One more request: Though the manuals have been cleaned up, sometimes a small number of OCR
'misunderstandings' will be left. If you find them, please correct them (if possible) and send me
the corrected version.
You can contact me at
gaby@gaby.de. Please don't send me any files by e-mail if I didn't asked you to do so.

GSX

CONVERTED GSX DOC FILES : 39K GEM
screen drivers and GSX have a lot in common, and GSX was available for DOS as
well as CPM. In the CPM version posted there are some files in Wordstar 4/5
format, which makes them pretty unreadable, of which three actually relate to
DOS, not CPM. Anyway, these have been converted to ASCII and are now posted
here.

MP/M I

This is the only manual from DRI on MP/M I. It is actually the User's guide,
Programmer's guide and System Implementor's guide under one cover.

MP/M II

MP/M II System Manual : 159K MP/M II
System Guide. This is the one you need to port MP/M II to new hardware. The ZIP
file includes a mostly finished, cleaned-up, version, in MS-WORD format, as well
as the original ASCII scanned version. This is for reference for the sections
that haven't been fully cleaned up.

DRI MP/M II Product Brief : 244K
It gives a clear description
of what MP/M can do, lists all the software on the disks, and generally
answers a lot of the questions people ask about this OS (PDF, 4 pages).

UTILITIES, DEBUGGERS, ETC.

PROGRAMMERS UTILITIES for the IBM/PC

stand-alone.
